Immediate Return? Weiner Won’t, Gets Leave of Absence

New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner is under pressure to resign, not just because of his lewd photos, but because of the effect the scandal is having on Congressional business.

Fox News Radio’s Steve Taylor reports from Washington…

The Congressman won’t be returning right away to Capitol Hill, instead electing to seek help.  That’s according to his spokeswoman Risa Heller who released the following statement Saturday:

“Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person.  In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well.  Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.”
